据全球能源新闻网10月8日报道，日前，胜科工业（Sembcorp Industries）的子公司胜科公用事业公司（ Sembcorp Utilities）、千代田公司（Chiyoda Corporation）和三菱公司签署了战略合作谅解备忘录 (MOU)，以探索利用千代田成熟的氢储存和运输技术“SPERA Hydrogen™”将脱碳氢输送到新加坡的商业规模供应链的可行性和实施。
2021年5月，日本政府宣布了旨在支持亚洲实现可持续经济增长和碳中和的亚洲能源转型倡议(AETI)，日本和新加坡政府已开始就能源转型展开对话。根据AETI，日本将支持新加坡的能源转型，利用日本公司的技术，如千代田的“SPERA Hydrogen™”并将其商业化。
千代田开发了“SPERA Hydrogen™”技术，可从甲基环己烷 (MCH1) 中释放氢气。MCH 是一种液态有机氢载体 (LOHC2)，它似乎是一种更合适的氢载体，尤其是它的安全性和与现有工业基础设施的兼容性。
该谅解备忘录代表着在新加坡建立商业规模脱碳氢全球供应链的战略重要一步。三家公司打算共同努力，探索在海上最具成本效益的氢气生产方式，以便在这些选定的地点进行后续加氢，并最终将MCH运往新加坡使用。

SEMBCORP AND JAPANESE PARTNERS TO COLLABORATE align="justify"> Sembcorp Industries’ subsidiary Sembcorp Utilities, Chiyoda Corporation and Mitsubishi Corporation have signed a strategic collaboration Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore the feasibility and implementation of a commercial-scale supply chain to deliver decarbonised hydrogen into Singapore, utilising Chiyoda’s proven hydrogen storage and transportation technology “SPERA Hydrogen™”.
In May 2021, the Japanese Government announced the Asia Energy Transition Initiative (AETI) that aims to support the achievement of sustainable economic growth and carbon neutrality in Asia, and the governments of Japan and Singapore have commenced dialogue align="justify"> Chiyoda has developed the “SPERA Hydrogen™” technology to release hydrogen from Methylcyclohexane (MCH1). MCH is a type of liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC2) that appears to be a more suitable hydrogen carrier, in particular for its safety and compatibility with existing industrial infrastructure.
This MOU represents a strategically important step in the potential creation of a commercial-scale global supply chain for decarbonised hydrogen into Singapore. The parties intend to undertake joint efforts to explore the most cost-effective hydrogen production in offshore locations for subsequent hydrogenation in these selected locations, and to ultimately ship MCH to Singapore for use.
